Zhou Ruhai slammed the table and said angrily: "Madam, what you said is a bit inappropriate. We have been married for so many years. Do you think I am such a petty person?"
Mrs. Zhou realized that she had made a mistake and immediately said with a smile: "Why do you need to be angry, sir? It was all because of my indiscretion and I said the wrong thing. I hope you don't have the same knowledge as me."
"Hmph!" Zhou Ruhai snorted coldly, feeling even more angry.
Mrs. Zhou knew in her heart that although she had apologized, she still had to solve the root cause if she wanted to completely stop her husband from being angry.
"Master, why did your son offend you? Tell me. If he really does something wrong, I will teach him a lesson for you and let him remember it." Mrs. Zhou approached her master and said with a smile on her face. .
"It would be great if you could really do this. After all, I am not a narrow-minded person. If my son puts me in his eyes, how can I be angry with him?" Zhou Ruhai said, his eyes filled with tears. Hong looked very aggrieved, "After those uninvited guests told me their intention to come, I thought quite well. I thought that my son is really capable outside, and his prestige has reached such a high level. The guests who came only recognized He doesn't even recognize me.
I didn't feel angry at that time. Instead, I felt happy because I thought my son had a future.
There were too many people in that gang, and they looked fierce after all, so in order to nip it in the bud, I only invited their leader into the house, and then sent someone to call our son and ask him to come out early to meet the guests. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou still didn't hear anything wrong. She even felt that the master was too open-minded when handling this matter.
"What happened next?" Mrs. Zhou continued to ask.
Zhou Ruhai shook his head and continued: "It became lively after that. After our son arrived, he symbolically asked that person about the guest's purpose. As a result, that person not only did not reveal his identity information, but instead showed up openly in front of me. Hint to our son to let me leave.
I was a little angry at the time, thinking where did this rude person come from, actually in my house, asking me to leave, what kind of logic is this?
And that person never said anything about what he wanted to do with our son.
Out of curiosity and to protect my dignity, I did not leave voluntarily. Instead, I sat on the chair and planned to see what was going on between them. "
Seeing her master getting more and more excited as he talked, Mrs. Zhou also noticed something was wrong and thought to herself that her master was really just like a child. Since the guest had spoken so thoroughly, why did you say you were still staying there? ? Wouldn't that be tantamount to making others dislike you?
Although she thought so in her heart, Mrs. Zhou still expressed her support for her master's behavior on the surface: "Master, I am not talking about these juniors. These young people now are really disrespectful. Even if they have big things, since their son can If you know, you are qualified to know.
No matter whether that guest wants you to leave intentionally or not, as long as our son doesn't drive you away, that person can't do anything about it. "
The reason why Mrs. Zhou said this was to appease her master, but what she didn't expect was that these few words hit her master's pain point exactly.
Zhou Ruhai stood up angrily and said hysterically: "Look, you said the same thing, right? I thought the same way at the time. I thought I was in my own home, and as long as my son didn't say anything, no one would let me leave.
If you have the guts, don't talk to my son about serious matters in front of me. Let's see who among us can afford the expense of the other. "
Mrs. Zhou had already realized that something was wrong at this time. It seemed that at the last critical moment, her son did not stand on her master's side.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou regretted it, but the words she said were like water thrown out. It was impossible to take them back.
She could only keep her mouth shut and continue to listen to her master vomiting his bitterness.
"But what do you think it turned out to be?" Zhou Ruhai said panting while gesticulating, "At this critical moment, our son is better. Instead of speaking for me, he just said a few words to keep me. Instead, he helped me. That outsider is going to attack me.
I was so angry at the time. After all, it was in front of outsiders. I thought about it again and again and finally endured it. But thinking about it afterwards, it was really annoying.
It doesn’t matter if outsiders don’t see me, but our son doesn’t even see me. This son is really evil.
And I don’t think that guest looks like a good person. He must be looking for our son, and there must be no good things going on. "
Seeing that her master was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, Mrs. Zhou knew better than anyone else that no matter how much she tried to persuade her, her master could not get out of his heart. Instead of wasting all that effort, she would just follow his advice and wait for her son. After finishing the matter, call him over and ask him, and the truth of everything will naturally come out.
After making up her mind, Mrs. Zhou quickly stood up, helped her master sit down, and poured him a cup of tea herself: "Master, please calm down first. If it is like what you said, our son He really deserves a beating. After he sends the guests away, we will call him over immediately and interrogate him. If he is wrong and does not apologize to you, I will be the first to spare him."
Zhou Ruhai thought that after Mrs. Zhou found out about this, she would definitely protect her son unconditionally. But what he never expected was that today his wife actually changed her attitude 180 degrees. Not only did she not protect her son, she also On the contrary, he stood firmly on his side. This moment made him very moved, and the anger in his heart also disappeared by half.
After taking the tea poured by his wife herself, Zhou Ruhai took a sip, shook his head and sighed: "Madam, it would be great if you can think so.
Now that our son has become more capable and has made a name for himself outside, he is becoming more and more arrogant, to the point where he no longer even cares about you or me.
If we let his arrogance continue to develop, we might make him angry to death before he can achieve great success. "
"Master, what you said makes sense. We must not let him go easily this time. I will go and tell people to call him over as soon as the guest leaves." Mrs. Zhou said as she walked to the door of the room. He said to the little maid outside, "Go and guard the door of the study. After the guests leave, come and notify me immediately."
The little maid nodded and immediately followed the instructions.
Zhou Ruhai was very pleased after seeing his wife's behavior. He was not talking, but just closed his eyes, hoping that Zhou Ming could come and give him an explanation soon.
Soon the little maid sent by Mrs. Zhou came back to report that the guests in the study had left, and now the young master was alone in the study.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly sent someone to call Yi Ming because she knew very well that if she was too late, once Yi Ming returned to the backyard, it would not be so easy to call him out. After all, her daughter-in-law would be alarmed by then. It’s hard to say.
While waiting for Zhou Yiming to arrive, Zhou Ruhai sat on his chair without saying a word, his face kept tense, as if someone had borrowed money from him and refused to repay it.
Mrs. Zhou was pacing back and forth in the room. Her inner emotions were very complicated. On the one hand, she wanted Yi Ming to admit his mistake to his master. After all, this was the only way to completely eliminate the anger in his master's heart. But on the other hand, She didn't want her son to be wronged, and these two thoughts had been tormenting in her heart, making her never think about what to do after Yi Ming arrived.
Soon Zhou Ming came. He walked with a relaxed pace, a smile on his face, humming a little tune, and walked leisurely to his parents' bedroom.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Yiming saw that his father's face was not very good. He knew in his heart that his father was still angry with him. It seemed that they had not done anything good for him by asking him to come here.
"Mom, daddy, did you call me?" Zhou Yiming asked knowingly.
Zhou Ruhai had a dark face. After hearing what Zhou Ming said, he remained silent, as if he was an outsider.
In desperation, Mrs. Zhou could only bite the bullet, deliberately pretending to be angry, and asked Zhou Ming: "Ming'er, tell me, why were you angry with your father just now? Your father has been so angry since he returned to the room. His face changed.
Let me tell you, son, you are now a grown man, and it is time for you to know some things.
Is it easy for your father and me to raise you like this? I have always hoped that you would be successful, but now it’s better. I haven’t enjoyed your blessing yet, but I am angry with you. "
Zhou Yiming sneered in his heart, thinking that what was supposed to come has come. It seems that after my father came back, he often scolded me in front of my mother.
Zhou Yiming thought about it carefully. He couldn't tell the truth to his parents about how he got this huge sum of money. After all, they were honest people and were used to following the rules. What if they knew how he got the money? Later, they might force themselves to pay the money back, which would be a lot of fun if things got to that point.
"I didn't. An acquaintance came just now and asked me to talk about something. Then I asked my father to come back first. If my father was angry because of this matter, it would be really unreasonable." Zhou Ming He deliberately pretended to be innocent and kept his words until he refused to admit his mistakes. At the same time, he also thought of a clever plan to deal with his father, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou Ruhai stood up with a cry, pointed a finger at Zhou Ming, and said angrily, "Why can't I be angry? You and your so-called acquaintance have something to hide from me. Forget it, you two are still working together to drive me away.
Of course, you two are smart people. You didn't say it clearly when you drove me away, but that's what you meant.
Son, please ask yourself with conscience, what did I do to you, and how did you repay me? "
